[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2440189, member: 51405"] So let’s play out your example where Midway is wanting to extend this imbalance by limiting supply. How would that work? How would them sitting on a ton of primers really extend this? That plan lowers Midway’s revenue, increase their costs, and opens the door for their competition to get stronger. Not to mention, Midway is taking on increased risk. Vista is going to see what is happening and be able to tell that Midway isn’t selling primers. That doesn’t do Vista any good either. Remember those videos that the prez of Federal ammo made, the Q&A format? Next time he’ll make a video that says ‘you know why you aren’t getting primers? It’s because Larry Potterfield is sitting on a boatload of powder and primers’, and Larry’s biz all of the sudden has an adversarial relationship with an industry giant in Vista while also alienating their customers. And if Midway wants to work with Brownell’s on this, which would make it easier bc together they could impact the market easier, then you add in the risk of from breaking antitrust laws on top of the above. To me, that’s more like how it would play out. [/QUOTE]
